Ankle Pain - Susan's Points

Susan's Points

Treating Ankle Pain with Traditional Chinese Medicine

At our clinic, we prioritize not just alleviating your ankle pain but also understanding and addressing its root causes to prevent future occurrences.

Ankle and foot problems often stem from factors such as overuse, trauma, inadequate footwear, and aging. Lifestyle counseling can be beneficial in managing these issues. Additionally, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) identifies several internal imbalances that may contribute to ankle pain, including:

• Blood Stasis: This occurs when blood pools in the lower body, often due to deficiencies in the Spleen or Heart.
• Dampness and Phlegm: These heavy elements tend to settle in the lower body, especially if there is an existing Kidney or Spleen condition.
• Qi Stagnation: Qi can stagnate in the lower abdomen (lower jiao), particularly if there are disharmonies in the Spleen, Liver, Lung, or Kidney.
